Anyone install pinwoofer with upgraded speakers on their CSI? Just curious if it improved the sound of this game very much.

That looks great! Haven't seen many pictures of the art blades or the color dmd installed, so that's nice to see.

Does anyone know if there is a bug when you start fingerprint frenzy and then start centrifuge MB? My machine won't kick out another ball when the ball is trapped in the centrifuge.

I guess I'll tinker with it some more tonight. I don't think I have tried to start skull MB after fingerprint frenzy, so maybe I'll start there. Also try some switch and opto tests. Otherwise, the game has appeared to play as it should.

I am running V 2.4...yet the third line is very similar to what I'm experiencing...

V 02.3 / SYS. 1.52 - 06-August-2009
====================
- Fixed glitching problems with split-screen score display.
- Fixed 'credits' display effect (was not working well with split-score
screen).
- Fixed infinite points bug during centrifuge multiball.
- Fixed problem with background display and lamp effects not running
immediately after the start of a game (there was a small delay, perhaps a
tenth of a second).
- Custom message with flipper paging was not working properly on occasion
- Duty cycle left up post a bit stronger to keep it from falling down via
vibration

I have finally found the solution to my problem. Here is more detailed description that will hopefully help someone else.

I have recreated this multiple times now. Just to recap: I start fingerprint frenzy and then start centrifuge multi-ball immediately after. Then the post comes up and traps the ball in the centrifuge, it says "centrifuge multi-ball" and then it starts generating the jackpot points and never kicks out another ball for multi-ball. If I leave it, it will generate the jackpot points forever (which is why I thought the initial centrifuge multi-ball bug wasn't fixed.) The only way I can get a ball to eject from the trough for multi-ball is if I try and shake the machine to tilt. I also noticed that if I move the ball with my finger while in the centrifuge, this will start the centrifuge multi-ball sequence again and ejects another ball.

I started testing the optos at the entrance of the centrifuge. In switch test, the first opto (""entrance") tested normally. The second opto ("made") was making a rapid fire sound at certain points as my finger ran passed. I also noticed that if I put my finger over the hole where the opto was aimed, it would make the same rapid fire sound. So I unscrewed and lifted the plastic off the centrifuge and tested the optos again. This time they both tested as they should with no rapid fire. The only difference between the two optos was that the "made" opto had a led bulb next to the left-side opto. I removed the bulb and put a flex head in there and the opto stopped the rapid fire sound and now my problem is fixed.

I'm guessing the bulb was too bright and was creating to much light interference or maybe reflective glare off the metal guide of the centrifuge? Either way...

Pinkitten do you have any other pictures of the color dmd with the smoothing effect? Color dmd is next on the list and I'm trying to decide between lcd and led.

Just added speaker lights and fingerprint covers.

I did check that out. If there is a difference in the videos then I can't really tell. I've also read almost all of the forum discussion. What I'm most interested in is the smoothing effect that you can apply on the LCD version and I thought it looked like you had that setting turned on.

Covered up the back of that opto.

I've had that issue before and my opto was bad. It registered in test, but would intermittently trigger the centrifuge with any vibration in a game. I even reflowed solder to no avail. I would just replace it.
